Baby boy names to go with Arthur

Hi, I need some inspiration on baby boy names to go with Arthur who we have already.
we currently have thought about: Harry, Theo Edward/Eddie, Alfie, Albie. Would another name beginning with “A” be a bit strange tho?? We’d like less common names where it’s possible maybe. Thank you

of you want a not popular name I wouldn’t go with harry or Henry I know a lot of baby boys with these names. Personally I’m if you like the name then it wouldn’t matter to me how popular it was.

Harry, Theo Edward/Eddie, Alfie, Albie

I'd not use Theo because Theo/Theodore are way too popular, and Arthur and Theo sound a bit lispy together.
Harry is fine but I know a lot of them. Henry goes well with Arthur
Edward/Eddie is great, but you could consider Edwin.
I don't like Alfie or Albie, and two A's are a bit matchy-matchy.

I too like the suggestion of Edmund or how about Wilfred or Quentin? They would go well with Arthur as siblings.

I feel the same as you about siblings having the same initial. I like the suggestions of Edmund, William and Frederick (William was my first thought too). It might be a bit out there/dated for you, but I also thought of Geoffrey, which is one of my favourite traditional sounding names.

I like Edward and Harry with Arthur. Nice to avoid repeated initials if you can maybe?

I think Henry really goes with Arthur.

VenusClapTrap · 02/11/2022 11:35

I’d avoid another A. Rather than Edward, which is very popular, how about the more interesting Edgar or Edmund? Or I think Wilf goes well with Arthur.
